Sunflower Head Series 1973

"Sunflower Head Series" is a 1973 work by American artist Ruth Vollmer (1903-1982). The drawing features a large, spiraling, checkered pattern in pencil on paper. Vollmer's work, often abstract in style, explored geometric forms and patterns. This piece is notable for its detailed and repetitive design, creating a visually hypnotic effect. The simple composition, rendered in pencil, suggests a focus on the purity of line and form.
